Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - it's Wordle Time!

Hey genea-kids, it's Saturday Night - time for lots of Genealogy Fun!

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:

1) Go to the Wordle site -www.wordle.netand create your own unique Wordle - it's a word cloud. You can use either a clump of text, enter your own words (say, surnames, or given names), use a blog page address, or something else. Your choice! Be creative with the fonts, colors, backgrounds, and layout.

2) Save it as an image (I used Print Screen, pasted it to a Word document, used the Windows snipping tool to edit it, and saved it to a file). Tell us how you did it.

3) Show us your handiwork! Add the image to a blog post of your own or on a web page of your own. Tell me in a comment here where it is.

Note: If you want to email it to me (rjseaver@cox.net), I'll put it up here on Genea-Musings for you as an update to this post.

I like having all of my words horizontal (probably because I'm an engineer) so that they are readable without turning my head 90 degrees.

I showed you mine - now show me yours!

Updated 4 p.m. Sunday:

1) Randy Majors (www.randymajors.com) sent his Wordle to me, saying " Guess I've been focused on lots of Google Seaches and DNA test Matches and such lately:"

2) Doris Wheeler sent her Palatine 300th Anniversary Wordle as a PDF file. She said that they "used it last year on t-shirts for family members. We have 38+ ancestors who arrived with the 1710 Palatine movement, so the names have personal meaning." I converted it to an image:
